The 1888 Sundsvall fire was a catastrophic event that razed over 9,000 buildings, leaving the city center in ashes. In its wake, Sundsvall was rebuilt with stone and brick, creating the distinctive 'Stone City' architecture seen today. Visitors can learn about the fire at the Sundsvall Museum, which features exhibits on the disaster and the subsequent reconstruction. Walking through the city center, one can see the uniform stone buildings that rose from the flames.
